Servings: persons

Peanut oil, for frying
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 recipe sweet-pickle mayo (recipe follows)
20 soft dinner rolls, split
3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise, for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sweet-pickle relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
(makes scant 3/4 cup)

1
Pour the peanut oil into your deep-fryer or Dutch oven, and preheat it to 350 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)
2
Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet until they are of even thickness, about 1/2 inch, then cut them into 2-inch bite-sized pieces.
3
Pour the beaten eggs and the hot sauce into a shallow dish, and whisk to combine.
4
Place the flour in another dish, and season with half of the kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
5
Place the panko in a third dish, and season with garlic powder, lemon-pepper seasoning, cayenne, the remaining kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
6
Dredge the chicken through the seasoned flour, then the beaten eggs, and then, finally, through the seasoned panko, shaking off the excess.
7
Fry the chicken in batches in the oil for 4 to 6 minutes, turning, until crisp and golden brown.
8
Remove the pieces to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain.
9
Spread the sweet-pickle mayonnaise on the bottom and top of each sliced roll.
10
Place a slice of tomato on top, and then the fried chicken.
11
Top with the other half of the roll, and secure with a decorative bamboo skewer.
12
Blend the first three ingredients together in a bowl, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
13
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet tray with nonstick spray, and lay the breaded chicken pieces on it in a single layer.
14
Bake for 10 minutes, then turn and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
15
Assemble the sliders as in the main recipe.
